A short story of exactly 200 words.

For You!

It’s hard to think of what to get you. I want it to be perfect. Just right! But what?

Money is kind of tight so it cannot be something expensive. But then you’ve never been the sort of person to be impressed by extravagant gifts, have you? The thought that goes in to choosing them is way more important to you than any price tag.

Some guys like jewellery but you are not one of them. Not much interested in fashion either – comfort is your thing and that comes with wear.

I could buy you a CD or a digital download, I guess. You’ve probably already got the ones you really want though. I’d more than likely end up duplicating something.

An idea pops up – you know, one of those Eureka moments. I know exactly what I am going to give you, and exactly where I can get it from. All I need is the right box!

On my way to deliver it, I know that I’ve made the right choice. Something that will mean so much and will forever remind you of just how much you mean to me.

I ring the bell, pass you the gift, and wait.

Aw. What else can I say? This is quite a change in mood from some of your recent stories.

No one ever thinks to get a guy flowers! ;)
A sweet story, Hully, and a cute kitty!

True, but I'm not a 'giving flowers' to anyone person. I can't seem to grasp why giving someone something already dying can be seen as a gift. Thanks, Jeff.
